Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_core_updates()

Hey @nothingbutstars

Hmm… that is interesting. That function is called inside the check that checks to see if WordPress is up to date. That is a built-in WordPress function so I couldn’t imagine a scenario where that is undefined.

Let me look into this and see if I can find a cause. Thanks for reporting this!

Thanks! If it helps, it’s only been running for a few days, but the earliest log entry is at 15:54:28 UTC. Our offset is the Central timezone (currently UTC -6h). I’m totally speculating, but I wonder if it’s something that only occurs while admin users are logged in to WordPress.

Here are the times of all of today’s occurrences so far today.

Hey guys, I have also been seeing this error for the last week. Could not figure it out for the life of me (since it took a few weeks after I installed WordPress Health Check.)

For what it’s worth here is the error I am seeing (however other people I have chatted do not get the error, so maybe it’s related to my IP, i dunno).

I will disable it for now, let me know if you guys get to the bottom of it,
Mike
